Refurbed Anthracite wheels on Silver 172

[Rob_]

This morning i dropped off my 172 to have my alloys refurbed in anthracite. Picked it up this evening and have just taken the photos below.

Apologies about the quality my digi cam is old and pants at night :dapprove:. Will take better pictures during the daytime.

Next on the list is lowering and doing the side badges same colour as the wheels.

Comments welcome

how much was it, looks sooo nice

I payed £176 to have all 4 wheels done, some of that is the fee for removing the existing tyres, refitting with new valves and rebalancing them.

Dropped car off at 7:30am and collected at 3pm sameday

[avstar1]

Looks great... but you want to leave them for a couple of days to let the paint harden. Enjoy!

 

[Peperami]

Looks choice mate, nice one!

That looks mint, I have the same colour 172.

I was going to do this but was worried that the paint may start flaking off, is there a way to stop this happening, or is it down to how much laquar you put on?

Cheers
